That Smile
by James ZealyI saw again
where the end Is the beginning
and the last is the first
That Smile
Seems like its always
Been a perpetual ornament
Haranging the observer
To notice youthful innocence
That smile exudes natural warmth
Empathy for emotions paraded
In chaotic storms destruction
That smile presents natural ease
When a honey brown boy swings
With joy in her arms
That smile appears even
When pain is manifested
In the direst of events
That smile with a graduation gift
Held center jump high
Grinning even bigger she grabs
While the last is the first
The ending is the beginning
